Hello fellow co-explorers, I am so glad you found your way to this garden. My name is John Mogi, and I’ve spent years developing a system designed to do one thing: help us move from being "leaves in the wind" to conscious architects of our own lives. 🌟 What is the Sunlight Project? We are not here to tell fortunes or predict a "tall, dark stranger." We are here to use the Tarot as a mirror. Inspired by the "historical correction" of the Eileen Connolly deck, this community is the home for the development of two interconnected paths: - The Sunlight Deck: The "Cure"—focused on active projection, clarity, and awakening. - The Moonlight Deck: The "Witness"—focused on honoring our shadows, our roots, and our subconscious. 🎮 The Hidden Garden RPG This isn't just a deck; it’s a world. We are building a narrative tile-builder and botanical RPG called The Hidden Garden. In this game, "combat" is a discussion and your cards are the tools you use to build a path through the "Maze of the Ego" back to the Sun. 🛠 Why you are here (The Co-Explorer Mission) This is an active development hub. By being here, you aren't just a follower—you are a co-creator. - Vote on Art: We are moving from AI sketches to hand-illustrated masterpieces. Your feedback matters. - Test the Mechanics: Help us refine the "Architecture of Awakening" (the logic of the game). - Learn the Lore: Dive into the Enneagram (1/7 logic), Sacred Geometry, and the deep metaphysical "Story of the 30 Cards." 👇 YOUR FIRST TASK: "Choose Your Seed" To get started, introduce yourself in the comments below! Tell us: 1. Where in the world are you joining from? 2. Which element do you resonate with most right now? Let’s tend to this garden together. — John Mogi

Why the World Doesn't Need Another Tarot Deck (But Needs This One) Hello and welcome. If you’re reading this, you are the first sparks of a fire I’ve been tending to for a long time. You might be asking yourself: “John, there are a million tarot decks out there. From vampires to cats to Lord of the Rings—why do we need another one? And what makes you think you can 'renovate' a system that’s been around for centuries?” It’s a fair question. And the honest answer is: I’m not trying to make a beautiful deck. There are plenty of pretty decks. There are plenty of spooky decks. But I am not interested in aesthetic variations. I am interested in a system update. The Sunlight Tarot is a historical correction. For too long, Tarot has been dragged through the mud of fear-mongering and fortune-telling. We’ve been taught to fear the Death card as a bad omen, to see The Devil as some external demon enslaving us, and to view the Swords suit as a battlefield of pain. I believe these images are not just outdated—they are psychologically harmful. They keep us small. They keep us scared. What we are doing here is different: - We are changing the physics: The Sun is not just a card you draw; it is the origin point of the entire deck. The four Aces aren’t just random tools; they are "Seeds of Light" descending from that Sun, struggling to understand their relationship to the Source. This is not about divination. It’s about navigation. I don't believe in using cards to predict a fixed future. I believe in using them to decode your present reality. We are building a tool for lucid living, for introspection, and for healing the wounds that the old world left on us. This community is the "construction site" for this new architecture. I’m sharing the raw sketches, the deep theory (like the Sun Rosetta), and the process of building this "open source" gift to the world. I’m glad you’re here at the ground floor. Let’s build something that brings the light back in. — John Mogi
